Description

This book tells how a group of immigrants from Finland founded the fi rst

co-ops in our nation focusing on one in a group of associations that are

organized around Sunset Park, a New York City public park with an outlook

over the harbor that is located on the highest hill of this neighborhood from

the perspective of a Swedish-American fi rst generation person accepted by

the Finns. This is an inside look into how one co-op has functioned adapting

with the growth of Brooklyn and New York City. While it is tempting to

want to examine each of the co-ops and compare how they are similar

and differ from one another, it is more important to focus on how they

cooperated with each other to remain independent and are able to adapt

to changes. This book is organized into chapters that focus on different

aspects of co-op living and includes a Patriotic Tour at the end to help

the reader understand why it is important to be all-inclusive when writing

history and important also to put new residents in the very spots where

history happened, even if the original spot has been changed over time.
